Admin Corner
Good afternoon Robina Families, The beginning of the school year is always an exciting time! Within my own family, everyone went back to school this week, which brought a few new routines and some nervous energy as our eldest started junior high. I am sure many of your kiddos felt similar butterflies as they settled into their new group plans, teachers, friends, and routines. Even in this first week, we’ve already seen both students and staff lean into learning with enthusiasm. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Scott hosted grade-level assemblies focused on character education, using the 7 Grandfather Teachings to guide student learning. While students were in their assemblies, our teachers gathered for their Professional Learning Community (PLC) time to collaborate on high-impact teaching practices that keep student engagement at the forefront. As a school, we prioritize both high-level learning and overall wellness, and we are thrilled for the year ahead. To wrap up the week and kick off our school year together, we were excited to welcome Brianna and Ethan, who shared their gift of music and Indigenous culture through Métis fiddling. The knowledge and energy they shared made for a fun, engaging experience for everyone. Have a safe and happy long weekend! Mr. Coffin |

Ordering Hot Lunch
Orders are made on the Hot Lunches Website
Important Note on Hot Lunch Dates
Thank you for your hot lunch orders! Before finalizing your selections, please double-check your order dates against your child's class calendar to ensure they will be in school and not away on a field trip.
If your child is absent or away on a hot lunch day, you are welcome to pick up their meal after 12:30 PM (please notify the school before 10:00 AM). Otherwise, the lunch will be donated, as refunds cannot be provided.
Club Moo Milk Program
Our Club Moo Milk Program is back! Our Moo Crew - made up of our Grade 4 Leadership students—will be helping by fulfilling and delivering milk orders to each class (Kindergarten to Grade 4) at lunchtime each day.
Parents can purchase milk tickets through PowerSchool: 20 tickets (white or chocolate) for $20.
How to use your tickets:
- Send them all at once – Cut the tickets apart and return them in a baggie or envelope. They will be kept in your child’s reading bag, and your child can decide when to use them.
- Send them as needed – Place one ticket in your child’s reading bag on the days you’d like them to have milk.
Milk delivery will start soon!
Coming Soon:
September 9 - Verification Forms
September 25 - Terry Fox Walk
